from Freelance to Founder · host Millo
Tharun is ready to take the leap into freelancing—but one question is standing between him and his first paycheck: how do you actually land that very first client? Preston and AJ Cassata from Revenue Boost share their own origin stories (a bagel shop, a school yearbook, a wave of cold calls) and break down the two simplest moves any new freelancer can make to get that first client through the door. No complicated funnels, no elaborate lead gen systems—just smart, human approaches that actually work when you're starting from zero.
